I'm generally thought to have coined the term "Delusions of Grandeur," and I have a nasty oxygen habit.
Some formalised InterCity ideas;

It just shows how flexible the visual identity could be we if we simplify it back to the main devices;

- The strong industrial icon of the double arrow.
- Deploy the NR wayfinding pictograms and RA2.

Echoing Twitter;

Even a modest alteration of GBR's proposal;
- Professional
- Clean
- Uncontroversial
- Visually accessible
- Distinction between InterCity and regional services.

The important thing to do whenever you visit any substantial metropolitan capital, such as London, is to soak up as much of the culture as possible.

Anyway, here's my boy getting absolutely lost in the sauce.

Facebook (meta), are totally inept; despite reporting this entire page for review, citing it's scams on its own page and highlighting it's impersonation of ScotRail, FB have refused to take the page down.

A second request for a review was also unsuccessful.

Musk, alongside the American MAGA trolls, have already begun campaigning in many countries, and will continue if not stopped

That’s not trolling the UK govt anymore - that’s straight up campaigning for a political party in a foreign country.

It’s serious.

Just like Class 385/1 trains, which have two air compressors but only use one at a time and switch every 24 hours.
